Financial Instruments:

The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Prior to February 9, 2010, the Company sold products in various global markets. As a result, the Company was exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.  Foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) included in other income (expense), were $0 and $29 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  On September 30, 2012, the Company had no open foreign exchange contracts to sell Euros or any other foreign currencies.  On September 30, 2012, the Company had 8,348 liability warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $30.00 expiring between June 2013 and September 2013.  The Company recorded a non-cash gain related to the warrants of $2 in the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  On September 30, 2011, the Company had 41,741 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $30.00 expiring between June 2013 and September 2013.  The Company recorded a non-cash gain of $3 and $14 in the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to these warrants.

Changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar are currently immaterial to our operating results. Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk may increase over time as our business evolves.  If our efforts to continue to support Sequel Power are successful, we expect that sales in international markets will again account for a significant portion of any future revenue, since Sequel Power's development projects are located in several countries outside the United States.

The balance in the note receivable at September 30, 2012 was $0.  The prior period note receivable balance consisted of a loan related to Tegal's investment in CollabRx.  After the completion of the acquisition of CollabRx, the note receivable was reclassed to be included as part of the purchase price, thereby extinguishing the $300 bridge loan previously extended to CollabRx.  Also as part of the purchase price, the Company assumed $500 of existing CollabRx indebtedness through the issuance of the promissory notes.  The principal of the promissory notes is payable in equal installments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of issuance, along with the accrued but unpaid interest as of such dates.  See Note 8 CollabRx Acquistion.
